Chapter 175: Gold and Jade

"Eat slowly, Sister Xiao Nian still has it, I'll give it to you after eating."

As he spoke, he stuffed a piece of soft sugar cake into his hand.

The operation stunned the children.

The second tiger happily took a bite of the sugar gourd in his hand, and his eyes narrowed with laughter.

"Sister Xiao Nian, it's delicious."

Chen Xiaonian touched his little head, "Good." ”

Most of the people in Heshan Village only stay in the village to farm, and only go out of the village when they need to go to the town, and these children have very few opportunities to go to the town, let alone eat such delicious sugar gourds and sugar cakes.

Seeing that they were all staring at the sugar gourd in their hands, Erhu gently pinched the fruit wrapped in syrup with his little hand, and looked at Chen Xiaonian carefully.

Chen Xiaonian pretended not to see it, turned around and entered the house, and hid behind the door to look secretly.

Sure enough, the second tiger took the fruit down and handed it to one of them.

"Give."

The child didn't answer, but he kept licking his mouth, wanting to eat.

Erhu raised his chin and said proudly: "I still have sugar cakes to eat." ”

The child on the other side happily took it and licked it carefully.

It's delicious.

The others also licked their mouths greedily, and the two tigers gave them one, and they licked the stick.

At noon, the second tiger's father and mother returned.

I heard that the Wang family was still busy working in the field, so the second tiger father rushed over without saying a word.

The second tiger girl pulled Chen Xiaonian and said, "I went to the town today to inquire." ”

Chen Xiaonian suddenly became nervous.

"There's a lot of chaos in the north, and I heard that it's fighting again."

Chen Xiaonian sat up straight, "How is Mo Jue?" ”

Speaking of that General Mo Jue, the second tiger girl is even more energetic.

"I heard that General Mo Jue was originally the prince's person, and he collaborated with the enemy and treason half a month before the turmoil in the north, which was also the beginning of the turmoil in the north. After hearing about the civil strife, the general Mo Jue was raided and his life was lost. ”

Chen Xiaonian gasped, and his face turned pale in an instant.

The whole family is beheaded?

Erhu Niang didn't pay attention, and continued: "I heard that he is an orphan, he grew up in the army since he was a child, and he went to war when he was only ten years old, and he became famous for a while at the age of fifteen, and he became a general before the battle at the age of sixteen. ”

Hearing that there were no parents, Chen Xiaonian's pale face instantly eased a lot, and his eyes lit up.

"When I was eighteen years old, I married the princess of the dynasty and had a son."

Chen Xiaonian's heart was suffocated, and the color in his eyes dimmed again.

It turns out that Li Qianyue is a princess!

No wonder Li Qianyue, the mother, indulges the child so much, and no wonder that the child is so arrogant at a young age.

These identities are not comparable to Chen Xiaonian at all.

The second tiger girl didn't notice it, and let out a long sigh again.

"It's a pity that his family is full of beheadings, and even this princess and that child are gone."

Speaking of which, the second tiger lady has stopped.

Chen Xiaonian waited for a while and didn't wait for what he wanted, and couldn't help asking, "Gone?" ”

Erhu Niang smiled, "It's gone, you think I'm a storyteller?" ”

Chen Xiaonian was a little embarrassed.

But that day, she heard someone from Liu's shopkeeper that person saying that General Mo Jue had come back from the dead......

"Xiao Nian?"

The second tiger lady shouted several times in a row, and she responded, so she could only pat the back of her hand gently.

"What's wrong, sister-in-law?"

Erhu Niang reminded her, "The day after tomorrow is the day when Mrs. Chen will hold a banquet, and his father discussed with me, saying that it will be over one day in advance, and we will go directly to the town to wait until the day of the day." ”

Chen Xiaonian nodded, "It's okay." ”

Waiting for the second tiger father and the Wang family to come back, the second tiger mother took the child away. He who has been led to the door

Erhu suddenly ran back and put his toes on tiptoe for Chen Xiaonian to come down.

Chen Xiaonian squatted down, Erhu leaned into her ear, and whispered to her if she could give him another piece of sugar cake tomorrow.

She nodded her cheek, "You kiss me, I'll give you two tomorrow." ”

Erhu put his hands behind his back and shook his head solemnly.

"No, no, no, you are already married, I can't kiss you, if you kiss, you have to be my daughter-in-law."

Chen Xiaonian was stunned, and then burst into laughter.

Erhu's mother took the child away embarrassedly, Erhu didn't know why, and asked loudly: "Mother, didn't you teach me these?" ”

Chen Xiaonian laughed even louder.

After walking a little farther, Erhu's father sighed, "It's been a long time since Erlang left, I haven't heard her laugh like this for a long time." ”

The next day, the father of the second tiger went to Lotus Village early, and the mother of the second tiger took the child to Chen Xiaonian's house, which was a little embarrassed.

"This kid doesn't want to go to the field with me, but he wants to come and play with you."

Chen Xiaonian glanced at Erhu, who was shyly hiding behind his mother's body, and pulled him over. "Sister-in-law, go ahead, I'll watch the child."

The second tiger lady gave a few words, and did not forget to remind Chen Xiaonian, "Since it is Mrs. Chen who is holding a banquet, you are also dressed up and happy." ”

Chen Xiaonian responded, and after the second tiger lady left with the Wang family, she took out two pieces of sugar cake from her sleeve like a trick and handed them to the second tiger.

"Sister Xiao Nian is so good."

Erhu took the sugar cake and walked to the door happily, not forgetting to say to Chen Xiaonian: "I'll just sit at the door and eat, Sister Xiaonian, you don't have to come out to see." ”

Chen Xiaonian pretended not to know his careful thoughts, and after a few words of advice, he turned around and entered the house.

Although the Chen family did not send her an invitation, Chen Xiaonian always had to help with such a large amount of seafood.

She remembered that Erlang had bought her two sets of clothes, and she thought that when she was a month old, she would leave a few inches wide and pressed against the bottom of the box.

Chen Xiaonian went into the house and searched for a while, and finally saw the two clothes neatly stacked at the bottom of the box.

On the fourth day after Erlang left, Chen Xiaonian stuffed his clothes into the stove fire and burned them clean, leaving only these two new clothes reluctantly.

She took out her new clothes, and as she pulled them out, two things fell into the box.

A hairpin inlaid with gold and jade, and a silver ticket of two hundred taels.

Chen Xiaonian was stunned for a moment.

The people in front of the yamen just searched casually, and did not rummage through the cabinets, so they only asked about the one hundred taels of silver on the table.

Unexpectedly, Erlang still hid these in the box?

Chen Xiaonian picked up the hairpin and looked at it carefully.

Neither workmanship nor value is a bargain.

This isn't Li Qianyue's, right?

Chen Xiaonian's hand shook and he almost threw something to the ground.

She put things back in place, stared at them for a long time, and picked up the hairpin again.

If this is Li Qianyue's thing, it has been so hard along the way, in order to make a living, Li Qianyue will definitely be exchanged for silver. If this thing is very important and deserved, it will also be kept close to her, how can it appear in her house.

If it was left by Jiro......

Chen Xiaonian squeezed the hairpin tightly, and was reluctant to put it down after a long time. I just put it down, and I quickly picked it up again.

After staring at it for a long time, she lost her hair again, combed it open, and tied it in a bun with a hairpin, pinning the hairpin up.

Pretty.

Chen Xiaonian was reluctant to take his eyes off.

It's really good-looking.

"Xiao Nian!"

The voice of the second tiger father sounded at the door.

Chen Xiaonian frowned.

Didn't the second tiger father go to Lotus Village?

When I walked out of the house, I saw that it was indeed the second tiger father.

He came in the carriage of Zhengchu's family, with an anxious face.

The children who gathered around Erhu to ask for sugar cakes were surprised to see his father coming in other carriages.

"Erhu, your family also bought a carriage?"

"Can I sit down for a while? I haven't been in a carriage yet! ”

"I want to sit too! I'm going to sit too! ”

The children happily surrounded the two tigers, and the two tigers were proud.

"It's not my carriage."

The children looked disappointed.

"It's from my uncle's."

The little ones rejoiced again.

Chen Xiaonian walked out quickly, "Brother Manfu, how are you ......?"

Before she finished speaking, the second tiger father had already pulled her sleeve and walked out.

The pace was too hurried, Chen Xiaonian protected his stomach, "What's wrong?" ”

"The seafood is all dead!"

Chen Xiaonian chuckled in his heart.

"What did you say?"

The second tiger father was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat, "The seafood in the farm suddenly died this morning, and I thought it wasn't a big problem, so I scooped up the dead first, who knew that the seafood would die in less than an hour!" ”

Chen Xiaonian's ears buzzed for a while, only to see the second tiger father's mouth open and closed.

"All dead?"

"Dead!"

Erhu's father pulled Chen Xiaonian out of the door, shouted Erhu to hurry up and call his mother back, and took Chen Xiaonian to Lotus Village first.

Along the way, the second tiger father had to take care of Chen Xiaonian, for fear that the carriage would make her uncomfortable.

Chen Xiaonian gritted his teeth, "It's okay, you hurry up, don't worry about me." ”

As soon as she arrived in Lianhua Village, someone came up crying and told her that all the seafood in the farm was dead, and she would not be able to hand over the goods tomorrow.

Regardless of chatting, the second tiger father drove the carriage directly to the door of Zhengchu's house.

There were many people in the courtyard of Zhengchu's house, all solemn and serious.

Seeing her coming, they all made a way.

"Get out of the way, Xiao Nian is here!"

In a word, the people of Lotus Village seem to have found the backbone.

At the beginning, those buckets of seafood died, and Chen Xiaonian rescued them.

Chen Xiaonian held his stomach and trotted to the edge of the breeding pond, and saw that several ponds were full of dead seafood, in patches and patches, without even a gap.

In an instant, Chen Xiaonian's heart was already half cold.
